PERMANENTLY SHADOWED

harsh noise | wall noise | power electronics

The steel hull of an industrial monument has once again become the place for wanderers off the path to gather and praise unorthodox frequencies. Dive into the shadows and witness the performances of JHK (us), SCATHING (us), KIRAN ARORA (us), FAR TOO FRAIL (hamburg) and SOUNDS OF FADING (HH). Once again curated by Cooperfrau Melissengeist and Doubtless Guilt, and hosted by the MS Stubnitz. Steel. Frequencies. Shadows.

Das Konzert wird unterstützt vom Verband für aktuelle Musik Hamburg.

JHK

JHK, is the NYC based solo experimental electronics project of Jackson H. Kovalchik, active since 2011 he began using the moniker in 2018. JHK's output incorporates detailed and textural moments of cassette manipulation, utilizing an organic and manufactured palette. Much of the work establishes composition with through-lines of synthesized undertones culminating in entropic pedal abuse. JHK has toured extensively in US and Europe and has released material through Oxen Records, Thousands Of Dead Gods, AAD, and more, as well as appeared at festivals such as Ende Tymes, Summer Scum, Bortom Brus, and the International Noise Conference.

SCATHING

Scathing is the noise project of Kenny Brieger from Austin, Texas. Active since 2016, Scathing uses an array of sounds from metal and homemade instruments to field recordings and vocal anxieties, filtered through pedals, synths and other electronics, so create a maniacal fast paced onslaught. He has played throughout North America and has a discography with releases on labels such as Oxen, Dada Drumming, New Forces, No Rent, etc.

KIRAN ARORA

Kiran Arora is an intermedia artist based in New York City. He performs live electronic music using a variety of hardware and software. He has performed across North America, Europe, and Asia, and released solo and collaborative recordings on a number of labels including Adhuman, Prose Nagge, and Skeleton Dust.

FAR TOO FRAIL

F.T.F. (Far Too Frail) is the new collaborative experimental industrial/electronic project of Anna Nin and Laura Müller from Hamburg. Blending dark synth textures, analog drum machines and Laura's haunting vocals they create an intense atmospheric live sound oscillating between tenderness and escalation.

SOUNDS OF FADING

sounds of fading is a blackened dark ambient project from Hamburg (GER). Consisting of K., who is also part of the drone duo Tremor Hex, the project merges synthesized waveforms with noise, harsh vocals, and sound effects. The result is a deeply immersive listening experience, somewhere between subterranean ambience and the spectral remains of black metal, unfolding into fragments of a dying world and dissolving into silence.
